Are you having trouble picking out a gift for the knitter in your family? Are you standing in the yarn aisle at the mega mart scratching your head?

Read on to learn how to give a unique gift to a knitter.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet connection
• Credit card

Instructions

1. Start with the most used item in a knitter's collection, the knitting needle. Signature Needle Arts is a unique custom knitting needle site that offers you options in creating the perfect needle for your knitter's style. Length, color, tip and end cap are all customizable and offers the gift giver a lot of variety at a reasonable price per pair.

2. Check out Flamworked Glass for a wide selection of breathtakingly beautiful glass rod knitting needles or bamboo shaft needles with elegant glass button tops. These are not just functional, but artwork in and of themselves. A gift of these needles will surely impress your knitting loved one.

3. 

   For a really whimsical and unique knitting needle, go to Glass Namaste Knitting Needles. These hand-made blown glass needles are topped with festive glass end caps which are of an almost sculptural nature. These needles may be too nice to even use for knitting.

4. Knitting Bags are another great gift for the traveling knitter. If your loved one enjoys knitting while waiting at a bus stop or wants to take their knitting on a plane, a great knitting bag can make all the difference in keeping their project from turning into one big knot. Jordana Paige offers really attractive leather knitting bags that look like regular purses and will add a classy touch to your knitters wardrobe.

5. Does your knitter have all the supplies he or she needs? At Christmas time a lovely knitting inspired ornament may be the way to go. Kyle Design offers several different holiday ornaments with a knitting icon on it and any happy knitter would love this addition to their tree. You'll also find some great knitting inspired earrings and nightlights here as well. See Resources below for a link.

Tips & Warnings

• Gift certificates are usually available at the knitting needle sites, so if you are unsure, send your loved one a link and let them choose for themselves.
